Teen Suspect in Georgia High School Shooting Reveals Dramatic Transformation During Court Hearing
A dramatic turn of events unfolded in a Barrow County, Georgia courtroom yesterday as accused high school shooter Colt Gray made his first appearance since being indicted on 55 counts of murder and aggravated assault. What was once described as the "baby-faced suspect" now stands before the law sporting an unrecognizable new look.
Gray, now 15, walked into court in a preppy outfit complete with a quarter zip shirt, khakis, glasses, and a freshly cut dark brown hairdo. The drastic contrast to his previous appearance, marked by disheveled bleached orangey locks that fell just below his shoulders, left many stunned.
According to attorney Aisha Broderick, who took on Gray's case in October, the teenager is still waiting for a medical evaluation to be completed. This will inform any additional motions filed by the defense and guide the direction of the case. The evaluation is scheduled to wrap up by February.
Gray was previously represented by Alfonso D. Kraft, who signaled in May that his client was moving towards pleading guilty after meeting with a psychologist. However, it remains unclear why Gray switched attorneys.
The 15-year-old face-slaying suspect has been charged as an adult for the September 4th shooting at Apalachee High School, which claimed the lives of two teachers and two students. Educators Richard "Ricky" Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie, along with students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, all lost their lives to the senseless violence.
Additionally, eight other students were wounded by gunfire, seven of whom were struck directly by bullets. The shooting also saw Gray's father, Colin Gray, charged for allegedly giving his son an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas gift – the very same firearm used in the atrocity.
As investigations continue, it has emerged that both father and son face potentially life-altering sentences, with Colin Gray facing up to 180 years behind bars if convicted. Colt Gray, meanwhile, faces up to life in prison for his role in the tragedy.
Court records also reveal that investigators discovered a "shrine" to school shooters above Gray's home computer, adding to the disturbing narrative surrounding this case.

his dad's lawyer must've given him some serious style tips, 'cause who knew Colt Gray could rock a quarter zip so well? anyway, gotta feel for the victims and their families, it's just heartbreaking 
this case is getting more dramatic by the day, like a real-life soap opera. and can we talk about the shrine to school shooters above his computer... that's just weird, dude 
and his hair is now all neat and dark brown. It's crazy to think that he went from being described as "baby-faced suspect" to looking like a preppy teenager 
. I wonder what changed him? Is he getting some new treatment or something? Anyway, it's good to see that he's looking more put together now 
.
. And can we talk about how crazy it is that his dad gave him an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas gift 
? That's just...wow 
that's just insane 
. I hope everything works out and justice is served 
.
It's crazy how much of a difference his new look makes - it's like night and day 
its like he's gone through hell n back 
but lets keep our fingers crossed for him 
Anyway, it's still crazy to think about the severity of the charges against him and his dad. Life sentences aren't something you take lightly, you know? 
.
. And now we gotta deal with the fact that his own dad might have contributed to this by gifting him a gun 
. I guess only time will tell what happens next, but for now, it's just a whole lot of drama and questions 
.
You gotta feel bad for his family, especially his dad, Colin, who's facing some serious charges too. 180 years behind bars? That's insane! 
. Anyway, can we just get to the part where he reveals what made him go all gun-wild ?
. It's like, how do we even prevent these situations from happening in the first place? We need to get our kids support and resources before they turn to violence 
.
? It gives me the chills thinking about how close he came to harming others. And now that he's facing up to life in prison, I hope he takes advantage of those mental health resources to get his life together 
.
Yeah, I don't trust these two guys one bit.
